The developmental profiles of four glycosidase enzymes (beta-D-glucosidase, beta-D-glucuronidase, beta-D-N-acetylglucosaminidase and beta-D-galactosidase) in the cochleas, cochlear nuclei and inferior colliculi of four strains of mice were investigated. The strains used were an audiogenically
Glucosidase I is an important enzyme in N-linked glycoprotein processing, removing specifically distal alpha-1,2-linked glucose from the Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 precursor after its en bloc transfer from dolichyl diphosphate to a nascent polypeptide chain in the endoplasmic reticulum. We have identified a
Gastrectomy or vagotomy may result in reactive hypoglycemia, which, in some cases, can reduce the plasma glucose levels to 30-40 mg/dl due to rapid digestion and absorption of food, especially carbohydrates. It also occurs sometimes in patients on hemodialysis, where it is a potentially lethal
Genetic and chemically induced neuronopathic mouse models of Gaucher disease were developed to facilitate understanding of the reversibility and/or progression of CNS involvement. The lethality of the skin permeability barrier defect of the complete gene knock out [gba, (glucocerebrosidase) GCase]
Gaucher disease is the most common lysosomal storage disorder. It is autosomal recessive in nature and results from mutations in the GBA gene coding for acid beta glucosidase. It is classified into three types based on CNS involvement and its severity. Type 3, or chronic neuronopathic Gaucher
We present the case of a 7-month-old girl with Gaucher disease who required anesthetic care during laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy, and central line placement. Gaucher disease is a familial disorder of lipid catabolism with autosomal recessive inheritance. Due to the defective function of the enzyme
Recombinant human acid β-glucosidase GBA (rhGBA) infusion is an effective therapy for non-neuropathic (type I) Gaucher disease (GD), but its effect on subacute neuropathic (type III) GD is still controversial. The most common genotype for type III GD is homozygous c.1448T>C (p.L444P) mutation, and
The clinical features in 2 second cousins with neuronopathic Gaucher disease include slowly progressive ataxia, spasticity, myoclonus, and seizures with relative preservation of intellectual function. Organomegaly was noted only in Patient 1. Both patients had diffuse slowing with paroxysmal
A young, mentally retarded man with seizures was discovered to have a ring chromosome 17. He had no major anomalies. The phenotype associated with r(17) probably is variable. The patient's deletion and genotype allowed us to reduce further the chromosome location of the acid alpha-glucosidase gene.
PRKAG2 syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder, is characterized by severe infantile hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart rhythm disturbances to cases with a later presentation and a spectrum of manifestations including cardiac manifestations, myopathy and seizures. The cardiac features of PRKAG2
OBJECTIVE
Type III glycogen storage disease (GSD-III, McKusick 232400), is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, also known as Cori's or Forbe's disease. The affected enzyme is amylo-1,6-glucosidase, 4-alpha-glucanotransferase (glycogen debrancher enzyme, GDE or amylogluco-sidase, AGL), which is
This is the first reported case of prosaposin ( PSAP ) mutation from India manifesting as an acute neuronal Gaucher disease-like condition. A 2-month-old male baby presented with encephalopathy, resistant tonic-clonic seizures, moderate hepatosplenomegaly, hypotonia, and cherry red spot in
Gaucher disease (GD) is amongst the most frequently occurring lysosomal storage disorder in all ethnicities. The clinical manifestations and natural history of GD is highly heterogeneous with extreme geographic and ethnic variations. The literature on GD has paucity of information and optimal
This study is to present two Chinese siblings who were diagnosed with congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) IIb because of mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase (MOGS) deficiency. The siblings visited our hospital due to "pulmonary infection". Facial dysmorphism including long
Since the discovery of the lysosome in 1955, advances have been made in understanding the key roles and functions of this organelle. The concept of lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs)--disorders characterized by aberrant, excessive storage of cellular material in lysosomes--developed following the
